The Villain to get a brake run?

I was looking through www.refreshinglook.com and they said that there was a third train on site for The Villain at Six Flags Worlds of Adventure. I know that it looked like there was space to store the third train last year, and there is a nice convient spot to put a brake run on the straight away after that high flat turn. My question is, does anybody know if they have or if they will add a brake run up there to allow three train operation? I hope that if there is that it will only be used to stop the train in an emergency situation. I really liked the end of that ride.

With all the similarities to Ghostrider I hope it will only be used for blocking and not for trimming, just like Ghostrider.

The ride was engineered for three trains. To make it work, a block must be installed and the PLC needs to be re-programmed.

While I'm all for three-train operation on Villain, I'd really like to see them get two trains right first. (Ditto for Batman.)

Good point.

I heard that both the Boss and Villain were engineered for 3 train operation. Premeir (at the time) ordered 5 trains for the 2 coasters and didn't decide which one would get 3 till later.
(Boss got the 3.)

You said it Jeff! In August I saw 2 train stacking Villain. At the same time, the third Batman train was in the shed, but it didn't matter, they were stacking 2 quite nicely on it anyway.
